Upload your TIFF
Add a File node to the Brainy Canvas board and upload the TIFF, or connect any node that produces a TIFF image.
Compress a heavyweight archival TIFF into a shareable JPEG that opens everywhere.
TIFF is the archival and print workhorse: it stores images losslessly (or uncompressed), supports high bit depths like 16 bits per channel, and can hold layers and rich metadata — all of which makes TIFF files enormous, often tens of megabytes each. That fidelity is essential for scanning, prepress, and long-term storage, but it is overkill for the web, where browsers do not even display TIFF natively. JPG is the pragmatic counterpart: 24-bit color, DCT-based lossy compression at quality 85, and universal support. Converting TIFF to JPG down-samples high bit depth to 8-bit per channel and applies lossy compression, collapsing a multi-megabyte master into a compact file suitable for email, uploads, and browser viewing.
Drop your file onto a Brainy Canvas board, connect the converter node, and download the result. New accounts get free starter credits — enough for roughly 200 image conversions — with no card required.
Add a File node to the Brainy Canvas board and upload the TIFF, or connect any node that produces a TIFF image.
Route the file into the Image Converter node and pick JPEG as the format. ImageMagick down-samples and compresses it server-side at quality 85.
A compact JPEG appears on the node within seconds. Download it or feed it into another node to resize or publish.
Why convert
Side by side
| Attribute | TIFF | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless or uncompressed | Lossy (DCT, quality 85) |
| Typical size | Very large (tens of MB) | Dramatically smaller |
| Color depth | Up to 16-bit/channel | 24-bit (8-bit/channel) |
| Web display | Not shown by browsers | Renders natively everywhere |
| Best for | Print, scanning, archival | Web, email, sharing |
| Metadata/layers | Rich, can hold layers | Flattened single layer |
